More evidence of leftist hypocrisy!

Flashback: Obama Bombed Countries, Went to War, Used ‘Kill List’ without Congress
Joel B. Pollak
6 Jan 2020

Democrats plan to pass a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives this week declaring that President Donald Trump violated international law with last week’s airstrike against terrorist Iranian General Qasem Suleimani.

Their bill will also reduce the president’s power to conduct hostilities without congressional approval from 60 days, under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, to 30 days. Some Democrats have proposed defunding any hostilities with Iran.

But few Democrats raised objections when President Barack Obama went to war — often exceeding the boundaries of his legal authority as president. The most notorious case was the Libya War, which President Obama launched in March 2011 without congressional authorization. He continued the war effort beyond the War Powers Resolution’s deadlines because, the administration argued, the U.S. was not engaged in “hostilities” but “leading from behind.”

Some on the left bent over backwards to defend Obama’s unconstitutional war. Former Yale Law School dean Harold Koh was once “one of the country’s foremost defenders of the notion that the president of the United States can’t wage wars without the approval of Congress,” the New York Times noted, but later became “the administration’s defender of the right to stay engaged in a conflict against Libya without Congressional approval.”

Later, when Obama was mulling military action against Syria, an administration that came to power by arguing that the Iraq War had been waged “without strong international support” argued that war against Syria would have been justified even without the backing of the United Nations Security Council because there was no way to win Russian support regardless, and because the threat of weapons of mass destruction against civilians was dire. Few objected.

Obama later abandoned that plan, but he did bomb Syria during the campaign against the so-called “Islamic State” (or ISIS, which he called “ISIL”). He also dropped “26,171 bombs” on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan in 2016 alone, according to the Council on Foreign Relations — often for reasons tangentially related to the 9/11-era Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). And in 2012, the Obama White House leaked to the Times that in addition to killing Osama bin Laden, he personally oversaw a terrorist “kill list.” Few protested, other than Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ron Wyden (D-OR), the former mounting a filibuster to protest the use of drones against U.S. citizens — including in the hypothetical example that they would be used in the United States.

So for Democrats to declare that Trump’s successful strike on Suleimani was “provocative and disproportionate” — terms that virtually welcome the intervention of the non-recognized International Criminal Court — is worse than hypocrisy. It is putting party ahead of country. Democrats would rather lose a war with Iran than win with Trump.

If the question is "what is Trump doing that aligns with neocon policy?" I've answered.
I've answered for months now: ISRAEL.

I could add immigration to that list as well.

Neoconservative Iraq War cheerleader David Frum believes that “sham” President Donald Trump will not be able to lead America in a potential war against Iran because he has “never even aspired” to be president of the whole country...........

‘What drugs is he on?’ Trump sparks concern by slurring and sniffling through Iran remarks

President Donald Trump responded to Iran’s missile retaliation to the assassination of one of its top military leaders — and many viewers wondered what drugs he’d taken.

The president vowed to keep nuclear weapons away from Iran but did not threaten further military strikes at this time, much to the relief of social media users.

But some observers couldn’t help but notice Trump’s odd demeanor and phrasing.

"Slurring," "Adderall" and #TrumpSpeech are trending. Sounds like it went really well.

whoever it was that shot Trump up with a bunch of horse tranquilizers or whatever this morning to prevent him from starting WWIII, I salute you

Trump shows strength by slurring half his words

— h. jon benjamin (@HJBenjamin) January 8, 2020


How is he already out of breath? Did he jog there?

— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) January 8, 2020


You can literally hear him trying to keep his tongue in his mouth.
Trump is not well.

Every single time Donald Trump gives a major speech, he has the sniffles. This is a discussion that needs to be had. Has any major outlet every asked Donald Trump directly whether he uses Adderall? The American people have a right to know if the president has a drug dependency.

Trump looks & sounds like he's overloaded on adderall. He's sniffing, slurring his words, robotically reading words off teleprompter. His remarks were vapid, rambling, incoherent.
No substance or detail.
Trump's entrance was staged like a light show. We get cheap theater. https://t.co/e7eWNerk3P

— Charles Campisi (@1813Doncarlo) January 8, 2020


Trump is high as a kite on some drug he sniffed.

— parislady1492 (@parislady1492) January 8, 2020

It's pretty bad when I see "Adderall" trending and my first thought is "Oh, right, the 'president' gave a speech this morning."

— Cindy 8645 (@Cindycjax) January 8, 2020

He looks like an exhumed corpse which was sent to the paint shop for a few coats of day-glo orange and then injected with adderall.
This gives me hope that he truly is sundowning.

— Richard Laya (@rjlaya) January 8, 2020


What drugs is he on !!!

— Kate (@KatMB2017) January 8, 2020

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, sniffs Adderall like a duck, it's a duck.

Quack-Quack, Mr. President. Your speech was only notable for how many sniffs.

This has been a horrifying way to usher in the new year, waddling around the duck pond of WWIII.#NoWarWithIran

— Greg Morelli (@yesgregyes) January 8, 2020

He is not well, can hardly open his eyes, slurring his words, sniffing and short of breath and who sprayed baby crap in patches all over his face? Yeesh the world was watching this insane asylum speech.

— All Kinds of Nope (@woozleweasels) January 8, 2020

Under Politics trending is: Adderall, slurring,

http://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/trump-is-incomprehensibly-abnormal-and-the-media-is-failing-to-warn-americans-about-the-real-dangers-columnist/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_cam paign=3424

Trump is ‘incomprehensibly abnormal’ — and the media is failing to warn Americans about the real dangers: columnist

Americans have now put up with President Donald Trump’s erratic behavior and overt narcissism for so long that we risk losing track of just how dangerous he is, writes New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie.

“It feels, at times, that when it comes to Donald Trump, our political class is… struggling to understand an incomprehensibly abnormal president,” Bouie argues in his latest column. “The reality of Donald Trump — an amoral narcissist with no capacity for reflection or personal growth — is evident from his decades in public life. But rather than face this, too many people have rejected the facts in front of them, choosing an illusion instead of the disturbing truth.”



Bouie then outlines the severe dangers of normalizing the president’s behavior, especially at a time when he’s under pressure from foreign conflicts, being impeached by Congress, and facing reelection this year.

“He is self-involved, unethical and unstable — a dangerous combination to have for the commander-in-chief of the world’s most powerful military forces,” he writes. “I think most observers know this. But the implications are terrifying… Fear of what Trump would do with the power of the presidency was so acute that his defenders actually urged critics to ignore his actual words in favor of symbolic understanding, to take him ‘seriously’ but not ‘literally.’ You can even understand the constant drive to normalize Trump as an attempt to turn away from the reality of what he is for fear of what it means. Somehow, we’re still doing it.”

It's an insult to fish to wrap their remains in the New York Times.

More fitting for this organ of propaganda is use as a liner for the bottom of bird cages. Crap, meet crap.

President Trump has taken the least military action of any President since Carter. Peace and Prosperity.
